Because I have a dynamic array of checkboxes which must be created in reset() before the controller automatically populates the ActionForm. If I don't do the initialization in reset(), I can't use the controller to initialize, populate and validate the form, and I may as well not use an ActionForm.
Bottom line, there should be a way to get Resources in ActionForm.reset()-- there's no good reason I can see why you'd need system properties in the Action class but not the ActionForm class. The reset method receives the request object, so you don't have the problem that the deprecated ActionServlet.getResources() method had (i.e., no request argument to indicate *which* bundle you want). What I would like to know is why the deprecated method wasn't replaced with ActionServlet.getResources(HttpServletRequest) rather than Action.getResources(HttpServletRequest). Anyone know of any way to get Resources within the ActionForm before I post it to struts-dev? -JT -----Original Message----- From: Bryan Hilterbrand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2002 11:29 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: getting MessageResources within ActionForm.reset() Why don't you do your initialization in the action method? Bryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Taylor, Jason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2002 12:06 PM Subject: getting MessageResources within ActionForm.reset() Since the ActionServlet.getResources() method is now deprecated, you need a request and an Action object to get Resources. That's fine so long as you're operating within the Action class, but if you're in the ActionForm object and you want to get Resources, you can't because Action.getResources(HttpServletRequest) has protected access. Am I missing something or is this a job for struts-dev? -JT -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
